Pex Hill Clean-Up

38 Wheatfield Road,,Cronton,Widnes,WA8 5BU

08 Feb 2014

00:00

Pex Hill Clean-Up beginning at the Visitor Centre 10am Saturday 8th February 2014. Pickers, gloves and bags will be provided. Twelve drama students from Cronton 6th Form College together with their tutor David Lloyd-Mostyn, TCV site manager, Neil McMahon and Cronton Pathways member Bess Smith spent a couple of hours on Pex Hill and in the quarry to litter-pick and tidy the area in readiness for their performance "Pex Hill Myths" on Wednesday 12th February at 4.30pm. In collecting about 6 bags of litter and two buckets of bottles and broken glass they have set the scene for a safe performance space and hopefully will be rewarded with a good audience. Come and join them at the Visitor Centre at 4.30pm for the start of what promises to be an interesting and entertaining performance. Thanks to the group for their hard work today, which also included a good amount of bramble clearing to make the paths near the quarry easier to pass along..

Clean Up Devizes Squad
CUDS was formed primarily to litter pick around our town and its environs. We do so about 4 times a month for 2 hours each time and then have a cup of tea and the all-important biscuits. We also strip useless bits of turf off areas, dig over, plant bulbs and sow wildflower seeds which we maintain on 2 roundabouts and various other places. At present we have about 28 members. We are not a charity - we are funded by grants for which I apply and have back-up from Dervizes Town Council's Park and Open Spaces team when we can't shift all the stuff we have collected ourselves. When we started over 3 years ago, we were viewed with some suspicion - as in 'Are you all doing Community Payback?' and so forth - interesting to think that a great group of oldies would be doing that! Now, in our bright blue hivis vests emblazed with CUDS on the back, nearly everybody knows who we are - and if they don't, they must have been asleep. We work with local groups - Beavers, the Canoe Club, The Lions at their Fair and recently with The Fulltone Orchestra at their free event in the Market Place. We are also planning our reward - apart from cake, which we have before our summer and Christmas breaks. This time we are going on a day out to visit various gardens in Somerset - it's great to be sociable and many have made firm friends within our group.
